Description

We present you an educational learning game for young people based on the Roman military. Growing up, Asterix comics accompanied some of us and left us with a very specific image of the (darn) Romans. They have colourful arms, beautiful tents and can satisfy their hunger with grapes and wild boar clubs. However, according to today's knowledge, this is not how reality looked like: The tents were equipped with a clay floor and meager beds, and there was bread and gruel to eat. The gear - what it really looked like you can find out for yourself!

Playing a trainee in the Archaeological Institute, full of anticipation and motivation, you are allowed to look at artifacts from Roman times. The treasures from the military camp of ancient times make the player dream and you find yourself in his daydream, which is filled with false preconceptions. Look at the Roman's tent and find out what's wrong with it - your professor will help you and take you into her daydream, a representation of a Roman legionary's tent as it might have looked according to today's knowledge.

Our educational game aims to show the player the real world of the legionaries with visual and humorous methods. In doing so, the player can move around in the rooms: the office in the archaeological institute - a room filled with files and old things, a legionary tent decorated with prejudices from the Asterix comics, and a legionary tent that is more like reality. Explore the world of Roman legionaries and get the facts right in the false romans tent to explain how it really was!!

Ave Caesar!
